alternively, another mishap that will cause this is the absence of a
'protocols'
file... absolutely devestating if you are mounting NFS systems in your rc 8-)

/etc/protocols (linked to /usr/etc/inet/protocols should have the following
/etc/protocols
        # protocols - standard well defined IP protocols
        ip 0 # internet protcol, pseudo protocol number
        icmp 1 # internet control message protocol
        igmp 2 # internet group multicast protocol
        ggp 3 # gateway -> gateway protocol
        tcp 6 # transmission control protocol
        egp 8 # (forgotten but it's on our sun's)
        pup 12 # PARC universal packet protocol
        udp 17 # user datagram protocol
        idp 22 # Think this is internet datagram protocol?
        raw 255 # raw

I beg to differ with the 0.8.0 distribution's line which says
        ggp 2
but this isn't used yet (I think) so it shouldn't matter (just being purist)
